This is a TRUE early lawsuit Jazz Bass and one of the very few I have seen with the Aria headstock decal and the Matsumoku neck plate. It has all the 'good' features from the correct-size pickups to the tortoise guard, from the vintage-style tuners to the 3-tone sunburst finish. And on top of all that, it goes toe-to-toe with my 1968 Jazz Bass and certainly earns 'The One' status for its remarkable tone and near-perfect neck. As a matter of fact, this sound more like a vintage Jazz Bass than 95% of the 'real thing'! The ironic thing is that Aria calls this a Precise Bass on the headstock decal, it's too funny. Weighs just 8 1/4 lbs. But I'm keeping this one for myself and am on the lookout for an original hard case, the formfit one made specifically to fit a Jazz body. Let me know if you have one for sale!!
